Need help with a 24-hour menu for a diabetic child?
What would I include? It would consist of 3 meals day and snacks in between.
I work with a child who is diabetic and she uses insulin according to her carb count, and the carb count comes from her sugar levels… very confusing! I know for snacks she has pretzels, crackers, and crystal light. For meals she basically eats normal food with a ratio of carb intake. Each diabetic is different so it’s hard to say would you should actually plan, for safety make sure you have some orange juice or a high sugary drink in case she gets too low.

How old is the child and what are his usual meal plans and medication levels?
A two year old has very different nutritional needs from a 6 or 10 yr old. Even all 2 year old has separate needs.
We are all individuals with different needs.
